^^^ 6hp, maybe? don't exactly know why but us spec is 414hp and euro spec is 420hp...
plus that's what i remember as being fastest top speeds of each type.
also " ~ " means around/give or take.
the real difference is an average of 7mph, which is obviously huge one at those speeds.

good question btw
i would assume it's jerez since it's a standard color choice but it sure gleams like it's azurite.

A quick analytical calculation (using the stock M3s frontal area and Cd) shows 570 hp is good for 209 mph. Thus this is absolutely right on the money, believable and close to the cars true power. The mods probably bumped the drag up just a bit explaining the tiny discrepancy of forumula vs. equation.

I don't agree. The GTS trades downforce for drag. Thus it would not be surprising at all if the stock M3 has a higher top speed. A similar scenario is seen with the Viper ACR (of course the M3 GTS aero mods are not that extreme).

I'm confident that in ideal testing circumstances (nothing unfair just smooth, flat, cool, and lots of room) the OEM M3 can obtain a true actual top speed of 185-190 mph. Of course forget indicated speeds as they are rubbish. It has the power and aero for it (not the the aero is particularly good).
